The space saga took in $8 million domestically and $14.5 million internationally on Monday. It was the lowest U.S. daily gross for Disney’s blockbuster since it opened on Dec. 18.

The domestic total for “The Force Awakens” has hit $750.2 million, trailing “Avatar” by $10.3 million for the tile of biggest film of all time. Should the movie perform similarly in coming days, the record would fall on Wednesday.

“The Force Awakens” has earned $786.1 million at international markets in the 20 days since its Dec. 16 launch. That total should see a major boost on Saturday, when it opens in China.

Box office analysts have forecasted that “The Force Awakens” could overtake the final three films on the list — “Avatar” at $2.89 billion, “Titanic” at $2.19 billion and “Jurassic World” at $1.67 billion.

Star Wars 7 was like a bad $cientology indoctrination video! Where is Larry Anderson when you need him? He should have been Commander Force of the Superforce Power-Team. Avatar does suck, blue meanies, bad dialogue, and a bad story! Daisy Rey Ridley is fun to look at. Nice girl next door look! When will that HOT AT&T get a movie role and quit those lousy commercial…

Who cares about the rest of the world? The U.S. is till the top movie market in the world by a landslide and it will overtake the top grossing U.S. film of all time in the next couple of days, ultimately landing north of that number probably by another $150 million or so.

Well the American market is the low end of appreciation. I think generally they apoericiate slapstick. Not that smart really. The rest of the world have an appreciation of intelligent movies. That’s why dumb movies like Star Wars do so well there.

“The rest of the world have an appreciation of intelligent movies?” That’s pretty weak logic, especially considering that decidedly dumb/low-brow fare such as “Furious 7” (is that an “intelligent” film by your standards?) grossed over 1.5 billion worldwide, of which 76.7% was spent overseas.

Hey Walt, could you please rewrite that so it actually makes sense? The “rest of the world” — and especially China — have proven over the past few decades that they are completely enthralled by Hollywood’s “dumb” movies, which really aren’t as dumb as you’d like to think, they’re just precision engineered to appeal to the widest possible audience, the sparkler the better. THAT’S why they can play ANYWHERE with zero translation of anything besides dialogue. They’re UNIVERSAL. That’s why Star Wars is already destined to be one of the highest grossing GLOBAL BLOCKBUSTERS EVER. And guess what, something else will come along in a year or two and topple that record. If you’d prefer to sit in empty art house theatre’s feeling superior to those who ALSO see blockbuster films, have at it, dummy. Those movies are often quite good too. But they’ll never take in the coin like Star Wars or Jurassic World or Furious Whatever or the Marvel shows.

Most of China has already seen it! It’s been bootlegged beyond belief. You can even buy ripped DVDs (presumably shot in theatres elsewhere) all over the place. If there’s one reason it doesn’t rake in record profits in China it’s because Disney decided to hold off releasing it there simultaneously. While I thought that was great — making the mainlanders wait a few weeks, probably in part because of their ridiculous government’s meddling — it could have a SLIGHTLY debilitating effect on the box office since they gave such a long window of opportunity to the pirates.
